The new Minnesota Vikings cornerback, Patrick Peterson, has punted on his Scottsdale, AZ, home. The posh property is available for $3.185 million.

The Florida native purchased the place in 2015 for $2,692,000, while starring for the Arizona Cardinals. The cornerback just inked a free-agent deal with the Minnesota Vikings and has left the desert in favor of colder climes. As a result, his ritzy residence is up for grabs.

Located in the guard-gated community of Equestrian Manor, the six-bedroom, eight-bathroom spread spans over 7,400 square feet.

Built in 1996, the home features a formal living room and a separate dining room. The heart of the home is an open living and eating space with exposed ceiling beams, fireplace, and built-in aquariums.

The huge open kitchen features dark wood cabinets, counter seating, a chef’s island, two dishwashers, and a large, walk-in pantry.

Each bedroom includes an en suite bath and walk-in closet. An expansive master suite has a fireplace, large sitting area, and two walk-in closets. The en suite bathroom features a walk-in shower and separate bathtub.

The space also comes with an exercise room with a walk-in steam room, and double doors that lead outside.

Other elements of the spacious floor plan include a wood-paneled office with built-in shelving, a wine cellar, and a large bar perfect for mixing up cocktails at home.

For visitors, a guesthouse comes with full bathroom, walk-in closet, microwave, and views to the backyard. A second guesthouse is currently set up as a sports room, with a golf simulator. There’s also a four-car garage on the property.

Set on almost an acre of land on a corner lot, the grounds include a plethora of amenities, starting with a covered patio, full outdoor kitchen, relaxing ramada, and outdoor fireplace.

Make a splash in the pool with its water slide and jacuzzi. Practice your golf game with two putting greens, or your jump shot on the sport court. Along with artificial turf for easy maintenance, the oasis includes landscaped trees and plants.

The secure space comes with cameras throughout the home, and smart home automation by Crestron that controls the climate, TV, music, and security system.

Meanwhile, the location is close to hiking, dining, and shopping. Previously, the pro athlete owned a massive estate outside Phoenix, which he placed on the market in 2014 for less than he paid in 2011. He appears to have sold it in 2015 for $1.05 million.

Now 30, the Florida native played college football at Louisiana State University, before being drafted by the Cardinals in 2011. After a decade in the desert, the eight-time Pro-Bowler signed a reported $10 million, one-year deal with the Vikings. His wife, Antonique Peterson, is a doctor who has worked on the frontlines of the COVID-19 response.
